So true. My band used to be called "her fatal legacy" which we actually nicked from a book about thatcher!

How about Jeff Killed John? (No sorry that's what BFMV used to be called)

Re: Thrash/Heavy Metal Band names?

I don't know anything about heavy metal but I've always felt like it's cool to borrow song lyrics/album titles/something obscure from a band that you guys like. Maybe if there's a song with lyrics that really appeal to you guys you could condense the lyrics into a song name?
Really obscure references are a lot of fun too. They usually sound cool and when someone else (this rarely happens) recognizes it, they'll go crazy. Take for example Steely Dan, one of my favorite bands because of the crazy references they use: the band is actually named after a fictional Japanese er... sexual device from Naked Lunch. I never would have gotten that reference, but when I found out, I thought it was hilarious that the same music that has graced so many barbecues, weddings, and high school reunions is named after something like that. Of course the lyrics magnify this humor even more but... Sorry for the tangent, just throwing in my two cents. Good luck!

No band names are ever good. I listen to bands called Daggermouth and Tigers Jaw, the first time I heard those names, I thought that they were stupid, now I don't even think about the band names I'm saying. But if you really want a suggestion, mine would be Banana Mantis.

I think there's a classic episode of Beevis and Butthead from season one or two where they have a method of devising band names where they just make 3 seperate lists of words and then just randomly throw them together like "Satan's Death Pod" or "Raging Chainsaw Monkey"

My favorite home-grown metal band name (i was actually in a thirst for impalement for a while)

Re: Thrash/Heavy Metal Band names?

Dude, remember the old Bevis and Butthead book "This Book Sucks"?

HAHA, they had a tool in there for building metal band names...

I remember my favorite one being "Satan's Deathship"

ROFL.

Lemme see if I can find the page in the book...

P.S. I find it weird that the hardest thing about being in a band, is thinking of a name. lol

How about Magnus 666. Or Junior Skid Boy. Or Rotten Blade and his Dirty Little Secrets Or Junior Magnus. Or Dirty Little Juniors. Or Boy Rotten. Or Dirty Little Magnus. Or ... You probably should think of a name yourself.

Good luck, Have fun

And keep the suggestions coming please!

Look in the Book of Revelations. Nothing but brutal, epic ideas in there. Here's just one: "The Whore of Babylon"...
